The REF TEK 131A series accelerometers offer a powerful combination of low noise and excellent stability for  monitoring of ground or structure monitoring.

The 131A-01/1. Because  no coils or magnets are used, the accelerometer is inherently stable over a wide temperature range with excellent stability, linearity, hysteresis and noise levels

The 131A-02BH is a triaxial Borehole accelerometer housed in a 3 inch dia case

The 131A-02/3 Low noise accelerometer provides dynamic range useful with 24 bit digitisers like the REF TEK 130 series, these accelerometers use a micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) for the variable capacitance displacement sensor. The standard model is +/-3.5g full scale with 200ng²/Hz noise level. Housing is anodised aluminium, sealed to IP67
